$672 — Chicago to Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia (R/T, w/Tax)

We don’t typically see a fare to Asia for this low, especially from Chicago. Furthermore, this fare is available for travel over Thanksgiving and Chinese New Year (Feb. 19). Being centrally located within Southeast Asia, Kuala Lumpur is the perfect jumping off point to other parts of the region.
